While living in Kosovo during her teen years, Lipa’s ambition to start a music career grew.[7] At the age of 14, she wrote the song, “Lions & Tigers & Bears” which was inspired by The Wizard of Oz (1939).[8] She published it on her SoundCloud page as her first demo in February 2012.[6][9] Lipa determined the smaller music industry of Kosovo did not match the type of career she wanted as she desired a “global scale” one. As a result, she relocated to London where she was born, at the age of 15.[7] Her parents felt comfortable allowing her to move there as the daughter of one of their friends lived there.[10]

After starring in an X Factor commercial, she met a producer who offered her a publishing deal. Flummoxed by this, she contacted an online friend for help as she did not understand it. He redirected Lipa to his attorney who advised her to not take it. The lawyer was impressed by her and introduced Lipa to Ben Mawson of TAP management while she was holding meetings with management companies.[11][16] She eventually signed a publishing and management deal with TAP and a record deal with Warner Bros. Records; the latter company wanted her because they did not have a big female pop artist.
